In the old days that's how things worked, but these days I don't think
it's a really good idea.  The general case is one user per machine.

If somehow obtaining "group games" access was considered to be
something other than a security exploit then I wouldn't care.  These
days I wonder if its even worth doing the setgid games thing for high
scores.
